Which is why we'd like you to sit down with Anthony Trollope, and these 49 other remarkably trenchant voices.

Other small companies contact me for advice fairly frequently, and that also tends to retread the same issues, so I’m going to blog it in depth once rather than giving fifteen people 30% of my thoughts on the same issue. One common issue is “How do I improve our SEO?”

Lots of good tips on marketing ISV and other stuff.
